Ouch.. Seton Hall was one of the only nonconference games that could have been a big test/win for us. Looks like we will have plenty of wins that won't do anything for our resume. This schedule is brutal. This is our current out of conference schedule: Boston University Bryant Boston College in Day...

I will go to every home game no matter who we play I will drive to every game within 200 miles of the Ryan Center no matter who we play except the pc game ( I refuse to pay them money and sit in their venue) I plan on flying to several games this season I feel that scheduling is very difficult for ...

I live out of state and will still try to attend as many home/away games as possible. It helps that I am retired. I just enjoy going regardless of the competition. Yeah, but imagine if we actually had good, interesting competition. Instead of having a coach scheduling for the benefit of the program...

The Big 10 would never allow West Virginia in due to academics. The academics were an issue for the ACC previously, but they might need to add them now to shore up against the SEC

seems like they could have found a better place to put this instead of tearing un a nice field. Honest question, but assuming it's the mobility hub, where?

Whats happening at the west alumni grading project?

Latest news is the SEC unanimously approved Texas and Oklahoma's applications, which to me is a little bit of a surprise. I know they're always seeking unanimity in something like this, but I assumed they'd let Texas A&M vote no if they had enough votes as a hat tip to their fan base. Texas rege...

BIG 12 was a good conference, its a shame. Football wise, you still had OSU, WV, Baylor who have top 10 seasons, but I guess we will see what happens. Eh, maybe because it's not my type of football (all offense, no defense), but the Big 12 to me was clearly battling it out with the Pac 12 for worst...

My guess is they'll stop the main RIPTA busses from going to the Union. You would take the RIPTA bus to the new terminal and get on a campus shuttle there. Again, that's just a guess, but it makes sense to keep the big busses out of the center of campus and have those areas serviced by the existing ...

Well here we go again to the surprise of no one.

Under Cox we've been 28-24 in the A10 and finished 8th, 3rd, and 10th. Yeah, we're not in danger of being middling, we're here

RhowdyRam02

As our roster is currently constructed should we be considered a top 5 A10 team? Most of the early predictions has us in the mid level conference rankings. We still have 2 open scholarships available and there are probably still some impact players left in the portal. I feel you cannot have too muc...

IMO, the coaching will be better because Cox will no longer have to defer to a 30% shooter. I have said it before and I will say it again, everyone here would think Cox was a great coach and we would have won so many more games if Fatts shot 35% from 3. It’s the difference in so many games. The 23%...

When it comes to Holmes leaving - If you're an optimist, you accept the statement on its face. Maybe he's having a mental or physical health problem, and he's decided to step back from being a head coach, which is a stressful job. Of course... Typically, the timing would suggest that "somethin...
